Pharmacology

Undenatured Collagen II is derived from chicken sternum cartilage that prevents the breakdown of bone joint cartilage by releasing collagen-specific T-regulatory cells. It also slows the production of inflammatory cytokines. The therapeutic potential of Undenatured Collagen II in joint disease depends on a specific dose of 40 mg. Glucosamine is the essential building block of joint cartilage that additionally reduces the synthesis of inflammatory and degenerative mediators responsible for the breakdown of the cartilage. Chondroitin is a structural component of cartilage that maintains water and nutrients to promote elasticity and resistance in cartilage. It protects cartilage from premature decline by preventing the matrix metalloproteinase enzyme. Methylsulfonylmethane is necessary to maintain and repair healthy joints, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues. It reduces the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and nitric oxide by suppressing the nuclear factor-kappa β, thus producing an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect in reducing osteoarthritis pain and swelling. The combination of these four active ingredients gives a synergistic effect in osteoarthritis and improves joint function.
